Please note that after commit https://github.com/johnrees/eu-referendum/commit/5da7bd55316079d259697bf1fff981e7daf18861 the format changed to pretty-printed rather than the default compact style. This is so that the file is split into multiple lines and can have multiple diffs, rather than the entire file contents being a diff (like a binary blob) each time it is pushed.
